New thread as old one nearly full

Up early. Hoping for a run but the dc got up early too.

Am in the office today so will get a load of steps in and will go for a walk around the marina at lunchtime. Yay.

Porridge with seeds and blueberries for breakfast. Have my snacks and lunch all ready to Chuck in my bag - strawberries and grapes, popcorn (just plain and homepopped), eggy muffins with leaves and some raisins and nuts.

And water and green tea.

A walk around a marina sounds divine em, enjoy.
Down .6, so 163.4 again. Average on happy scales is lovely and low, due to some great weigh ins last week but Fitbit average tells it differently. Awake since 5.30, better than yesterday's 4.30 so that's something.

Quick walk to the shop for shopping for ep, on 4,300 - now chained to laptop. It's going to be a few walks to get my 10,000-12,000

I've fallen off mumsnet full stop em

8000 steps, 1552 calories

Hi happier

I have been watching a show with Anna Richardson on you tube where they advise a group of dieting women to eat a bacon sandwich and an orange for breakfast, beans and eggs on toast for lunch and white pasta with salmon for dinner ... I guess this must have been pre-keto!!
Had a terrible terrible work day today and forced myself to walk for an hour and do a 30 min spin class before hitting the wine and breadsticks. I’m calling it a win.

What a day. Did very little as nothing to do, and humour was shocking anyway. I suppose I'm lucky I've the luxury of being able to do that, count your blessings etc.
Just over 11,500 and just under 1800 which was a struggle. Hi happier, come back when you've time & fill us in with your news!

mrs it was a yum breakfast. Nothing special. Spoon of flax seed. Spoon of chia seed. Porridge. Blueberries - from the freezer as they’re nicer and cheaper! Yum.

Finished the day on 9361 steps. Not too shabby.

Ds’ key worker at pre school is averaging 25000
Steps a day. Mostly because she never sits down and chases after ds and the rest of the ratbags in his preschool class. I wonder sometimes if I should let him wear my watch and see how many steps he does.....

Eaten only what I took into work today. Oh I was starving when I came home. Small
Portion of lasagne and chipp and peas for dinner.

Lunch made for tomorrow. Baked chicken cous cous and veggies. Mmmm.

I did this once to DS when. Tons is the answer.
I miss being more active in a peeved way but I'm tired and chained to the laptop as I went and for a grown up job. And it's pissing down

Morning everyone 😀
Em brekkie & your food sounds gorgeous , now l am curious to how much activity the Dc get up to 😂
Not hope you are in a good mood today . It's horrible being so out of sorts isn't it?
Life absolutely awful weather here too 🙄
I don't want to get up 🙄

Morning - so far 466 steps. I was up a bit with dd in the night and am now up with the dc.

Snap mrs, I don't want to get up either. I'll make myself be in better form, can't stay in that mind space for too long, it's hard though.
The scales sts today so all on an even keel. Veg sausage/crumpet breakfast. Hoping for a drop over the next 2 days, but I'll be having ep over for dinner. That's never easy on the calories. Starting to depress myself!

Don't get depressed Not try to nip the thoughts off at the very beginning 💐

Em goes to show how active having DC makes us😀
I feel a bit like l need food to cope with my MumBob 🙄

Food is my Valium I reckon! I inhaled around 5 celebrations yesterday in a frenzy. Only when I'd done that did I feel calmer. I do not know how you do what you do mrs, I don't know the ins and outs but gather from what you've said you help your mum and her partner on a daily basis. Honestly you're an angel. I struggle dreadfully helping my ep and in a very very small way, couple of visits a week, shopping, doctors stuff/bills but nothing to the level you're doing. I wish I could just not become depressed😂

Dragged my sorry ass to some aerobics. Lead weight

At least you dragged yourself life, I'll need kidnapping and flogging to get me to do anything. You'll feel great after.
I did a walkie talkie for an hour, himself is despairing of my moods so I'm trying. Think it's my hormones at the back of it all. Anywho, I'll get there. I'd normally visit family member today but I'm caring for me right now as I'm not the right company for them and they'll definitely depress me. Putting my own life mask on first for a change

not you cannot pour from an empty cup. Self care is the most important.

Thats all I've done today.
Agree self care not, you seem to have been out of humour for a while

Just feeling the strain of it all but turning the corner, fingers crossed. Having a glass of wine & some treats in a bit, I'll try exercise some control.

Ah hope so not. How's pp going?
